Almost Friday ~




It has been a very long week.  I've worked over every day.  The reports are close to being done.  I just need a little more information from the crew leaders and then hopefully I can get them printed and distributed to the powers that be.  I hate being so far behind.  Once these are done, I need to work on the mounds of paperwork hiding my desk.  Bills need to be paid.  LOTS of bills.  2013 paperwork needs to be filed.  ACK!  I am tired of being stressed but remember, stressed spelled backwards is desserts :)

Does this look familiar?  I hooked this with hand torn strips and added a proddy edge.  If you'd like a chance to call it your own, leave me a comment on this post or send me an email with give-away in the subject line.  I will choose a winner in a few days . . . Monday or Tuesday at the latest.  My only "rule" is that you must contact me within three days or I will pick a new name.  (Oh, and please don't mention this on your blog.  It's for people who are actually reading my blog.)



Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
Lauren

Sounds like you are very busy these days but always find time to make wonderful pieces. Love how you did the edge and the blue and white colors, very nice piece for Valentines.

Don't worker bees hibernate? Well....if I were you, that's what I'd be doing....Oh....never mind....I am. Sorry to hear you're swamped....but it looks like you're very productive when you're stressed, eh? I love all those little lavender sachets you whipped up (and way to overcome your finishing phobia!!) Your little giveaway mat is wonderful....I know I should politely decline entering my name since I've been such a horrid blog buddy...but it's too dang sweet....sorry! Put me in, put me in!!! Heard your neck of the woods might be in for some more nasty weather....Hope it changes its mind (mind you, don't want it changing its mind and coming OUR way tho)....I think we've all had enough already....But I'm learning what I think really doesn't usually mean a tinker's dam..... Happy Friday...Happy Weekend....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

Well I hope you get your just 'desserts' for all the long hours you've put in at work. Guess you'll need Brinks to escort you and your paycheck to the bank.

I'd love to own one of your hooked items and would like to be added to the many who will also want to covet it.

Please enter me in your give away. I'm a wannabe rug hooker, there aren't any classes in my area. I guess I just need to jump in with the help of the internet.
